I kept it at an old version because of nvidia problems with flying windows through the desktop. 535 was generally the worst driver ever. Whatever problems they had, they had them fixed in 545 and as of today I'm with 550.54.14, it arrived a few hours ago.
Post a screenshot and the config of your Conky
- Thread starter rado84
- Start date
weird how some have different problems with drivers, for me 535 has been solid

I like to keep it simple and use Conky MX

I have only recently learned about conky, after 2 days of playing with it here is what I come up with...
In addition to required update if you want to reuse it, to get SSD temperature it's required to modprobe drivetemp on startup.

To start with, I reverted from the BDE wall paper back to my old one because it's much less distracting.
I deliberately chose a conky layout and single color that are very subdued because I wanted it to be "visible but not distracting" rather than "eye catching". It's offset from the left hand edge of the screen just enough to not overlay the icon bar (which is -not- part of the conky display). While I fiddled with some elements that were (maybe) nicer looking, I decided to stick with this low key setup.
